plan A is to put the the pond block motor and c4 trans that I was going to put in my drag car into the 56 instead. however that means another season on the 289 in the drag car without a refresh. by nearest count it has about 600 passes on it now.....

plan B is to put the pond motor in the drag car and refresh the small block and put it into the 56, however I do hope to have the 56 on the track yet this season and that probably would not happen in this scenario...
what is your vote? LOL

I didn't think there was such a thing as a 500 horse Y block  ;D

The gasser needs a CAMMER!

I beg to differ!   I just stood by a dyno and saw a 352 CI Y-Block make 500, 502, 504 HP on 3 consecutive runs with 10.1:1 compression.  Helped change 3 sets of heads, 3 intakes, 7 spacers, etc.(Yes, one set was mine, and my intake that made the 500+)  It was a great day, and I will shut up about the rest.  I don't want to steal anyone's thunder.  Joe-JDC.

I have had a lot of fun with y-blocks in these cars, however ,since I already have a FE nearly completed, I will use it in this one.
picture is from 1969

I think Ted Eatons' Y-block at Engine Masters made 500 HP also.  I can't resist poking fun at the Y-block crowd, since I have a couple of good friends who run them.  And one of them likes to give me a hard time about FEs...

Kinda figured that! ;)  It was RB's heads and intake that made 504 HP, and I am sure he will fill you in on pertinent details. LOL  It was a great day on the dyno, and I sure enjoyed it.  I was so tired at the end of the day that I was numb for the 3 hour drive back home.  The engine actually made more points and would have scored better than the EMC entry.  Joe-JDC.

Joe is being modest..  He ported those heads, the 4th set he has ever done ... along with the dual plane intake, and kicked all the other heads' asses that were tested that day. I am sure glad he likes Fords.

Streetable cam, solid lifter, dual plane intake, pump gas,750 vac secondary carb. peak hp@6500 rpm

Hp/ cu in would = a 610 hp 427

Sorry to sidetrack from the 56 gasser discussion but Y Block guys don't get that many opportunities to brag
